I just got my own private server up and running using reaper-x mangos build 5472 and have a few questions about its operation/nuances:
I primarily made the server so myself and a few friends can go raid end game bosses together, but I noticed that a sizeable portion of the bosses and other ingame events are missing or broken. For example,
-Entering into Scarlet Monastery with the Corrupted Ashbringer does not provoke iits scripted event (wowwiki.com, search for the Corrupted Ashbringer).
-Magtheradon can be aggro'd without activating the cubes or killing the mobs at the 5 points around him.
-I do not need to ask the npc's to open things like the door that leads to Illidan in the Black Temple Instance, or at the Gates of AQ. In terms of AQ, the quest chain to open AQ, it ends at where you need to scry a 'tear' infront of the gates (it prompts a 'vision'/scripted sequence of the war (Quest: Long Forgotten Memories). I am unable to progress with the quest chain, even by manually adding further quests in the chain.
1. Are the above simply a fact of the emulated server? Is it possible for me to script them manually and if so can you point me to a tutorial to get started? Could this be solved using a different database?
2. On the topic of databases, reaper-x came with Unified (or universal) database and the project silvermoon database. What are these databases and what do they affect? Can you suggest your favorite?
3. Mobs tend to walk through walls a lot and fall into the ground. Again, is this just the nature of an emulated server?
